Save the date! On Monday, 7 October at 14:30 - 15:30 CET partners from the project S2S4E will present a technical and hands-on introduction the the new S2S4E Decision Support Tool.
On 7 October, the S2S4E project will present the first of a series of webinars for the energy community. The webinar program is the following:
- Introduction of the S2S4E project and presentation of the S2S4E Decision Support Tool, by Joan Miquel Anglès, business development manager at Nnergix
- Technical presentation of the DST, by postdoctoral researcher Andrea Manrique and developer Llorenç Lledó at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center
- Guided tour of the S2S4E Decision Support Tool – an interactive session, open to questions, to learn how to make the most from the DST, by Isadora Jiménez, communication specialist the the Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Register by 6 October here.
Shortly before the webinar, registered participants will receive information on how to join the webinar.
Background
The expansion of renewable energy is key to reducing Europe's greenhouse gas emissions, but the amount of power produced by clean energy sources depends on the weather, and forecasts of future renewable power production are often inaccurate.
S2S4E (Sub-Seasonal to Seasonal Climate Forecasting for Energy), a project funded by the EU's research and innovation programme Horizon 2020, is working to make forecasts for renewable power generation more reliable and usable.
To achieve this goal, S2S4E has developed a Decision Support Tool for the energy industry, which is free to use at least until the end of 2020.
The S2S4E Decision Support Tool shows predictions for solar, wind and hydropower generation for the coming weeks and months, with prognosis ranging from one week to three months ahead.
The DST also provides forecasts for energy demand and supply/demand balance, both of which are highly weather-dependent, especially in countries that rely on electricity for heating and cooling.
The S2S4E Decision Support Tool has been carefully co-designed with leading industrial stakeholders to assist in decision-making and become a game-changer for the electricity market.
